South Park creators won a censorship battle

South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have won a censorship battle with officials at the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) after their new puppet film was slapped with a "ridiculous" NC- 17 rating.

Parker, 35, and Stone, 33, don't take sides in "Team America," mocking liberal and conservative impulses alike. In the end they do take a stance, in language far too filthy for a family publication. The gist: There are bad people and worse people, and wimps who need the former to protect them from the latter.
